Platform.isCloverFlex() not giving correct value.

My application runs on Clover Mini, Clover Station and Clover Mobile and we change our app layout considering Clover device type using Clover SDK methods(Platform.isCloverMini(), Platform.isCloverMobile() and so on ) . Now I'm gonna support my app to run on Clover Flex but Platform.isCloverFlex() methods not giving correct value so I'm not able to set the layout for Flex screen.

I recommend not using com.clover.sdk.util.Platform class to control layout appearance. You should use standard Android APIs whenever possible. Please see the article https://developer.android.com/training/multiscreen...

Please see my comment regarding layout control. With regards to why Platform.isCloverFlex() is not working it is still a good idea to try to root cause that problem as it should be working. Can you run the following command on your flex: 

adb shell getprop | grep model
Also can you tell us which version of clover-android-sdk you are using, check your build.gradle files to see. If you are using release 152.9 or older it likely won't detect your device correctly and you should upgrade to a more recent version.

Thanks for your response.

Actually Platform.isCloverFlex() is working on real clover Flex device but not on Genymotion Emulator even I've set up emulator following clover developer setup recommendations.

I see, yes the com.clover.sdk.util.Platform methods will not work on emulators.
